0:02:27 > 0:02:29MAN SHOUTS ORDERS IN GERMAN
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Albert?- Yes, Mother.- Hurry up, you'll be late.- Coming, Mother.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14CLOCK CHIMES
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Darling?- Yes, Mother, coming.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Sit down, don't let your breakfast get cold.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Morning, Mother. How's your rheumatism?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I didn't sleep. That means it's going to rain.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Here's the newspaper. - Newspaper(!) Lies!
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Shhh! There may be something interesting in it today.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- How did you get milk?- The doctor prescribed it.- Are you sick?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Have I ever been well? Never since you were born.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Not that I blame you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05You know I can't stand milk. I never could.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10There's no reason why you shouldn't take advantage of my condition.
0:05:10 > 0:05:17You were so weak as a child. I saved your life by giving you milk.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21It's shocking. So many cows in the country and no milk.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24SHE TUTS
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Look, your coat. That filthy cat.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Take it off and let me brush it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33That girl should keep her cat at home.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I couldn't sleep for the yowling.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I thought it was your rheumatism. - My rheumatism and the cat.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Come now, drink your milk, you bad boy!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Some people get milk without a prescription.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56- CAT MIAOWS - There's a whole pitcher of cream on the mayor's table every morning.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Our mayor's doing all right, so are the merchants.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Black markets - that's why there's no food to sell.
0:06:03 > 0:06:10Selling meat and butter for ten times the price but they won't raise your salary.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13No, the schoolmaster must starve,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17while men who can't spell their names get rich.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Ah, well, at least we have order.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Things are quiet in the town now, we shouldn't complain.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Drink up your milk.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32What's that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Liberty.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44"Citizens, do not believe in the generosity of the conquerors.
0:06:44 > 0:06:50"If they are not driven out, it means generations of slavery for us.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53"We must resist.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58"Let each of us say to himself, 'This land is mine.'"
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Troublemakers.- This is dangerous. I'd better burn it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Not here! They might see you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I'll watch here. You can't trust your neighbours nowadays.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Aaah! Get the cat! Go, tch-tch!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Go, tch-tch!- Oh, my.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Albert, hurry up, you'll be late for school.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52CLOCK CHIMES
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Goodbye, Mother.- Goodbye, my darling.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Edmund, hurry up!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Good morning.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Good morning.- My sister's been looking for that cat.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11There's the runaway. Won't you ever stay at home?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Did she annoy your mother again? - Not all. We're very fond of her.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- My brother had a flat tyre. Is it fixed?- It'll do.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- I'm waiting for Edmund Lorraine. Edmund!- He's coming, Mr Lory.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- You don't mind if we wait? - Not if you walk fast.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Why not ask him to dinner? - Please do. George Lambert's coming.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Coming(!) He's bringing the pigeon for dinner.- Don't be silly!
0:08:38 > 0:08:44Who's silly? I couldn't figure out why he was on the office roof.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I found out he's got traps up there for the pigeons.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55- Will you come?- Thank you but my mother doesn't like being on her own.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- I'm sorry. - Have you seen this?- Paul!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Paul, don't be crazy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Why?- Soldiers.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Hans, want to read something?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Someone's trying to compete with our official newspaper.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Where did you get this? - Under the door.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- They are all over town. - If you find any more, tell us.- Sure.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Any at your house?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24No.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- You're very smart(!) - I don't want to get into trouble.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- They are just doing their job.- Are you doing yours?- Just as fast I can.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Why pick on me? You don't say anything to George.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Hi, Paul. Don't tear my stockings.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Just like all women, thinking of your legs.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02SCHOOL BELL TOLLS
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Edmund, come along, we're late. Come on.- Come on.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20- Burn these books.- Is that your order, Mr Mayor, or the enemy's?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Juvenal, Voltaire...
0:10:27 > 0:10:29..Plato - The Republic.
0:10:29 > 0:10:35My dear friend, we have to be careful about that word republic.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Would you like my resignation? - By no means, my dear Sorel.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44You have the respect of the whole community.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I only want you to understand our problems clearly.
0:10:47 > 0:10:54- I'm so sorry, Mr Mayor.- Come in. Come ahead, Lory. I'm just leaving.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Good morning, Miss Martin.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- Is anything wrong?- Yes. Come here. Come here, Mr Lory.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's a delicate surgical operation.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Cut out the heart without killing the patient.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Our country's history is a tough old patient.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19We'll do the best we can.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We start here with Charlemagne.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Here he comes! >
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Why do we have to do this dirty work?
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Why not get the Germans to do it? - It's only a few pages.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Oh, Albert!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59SCHOOLCHILDREN LAUGH
0:12:03 > 0:12:06SCHOOLCHILDREN LAUGH
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Vincent, close the door.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Until our new schoolbooks arrive, we will make a few...corrections.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Edmund Lorraine, collect the pages and burn them in the stove.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Pages seven and eight...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00..pages fifteen, sixteen...
0:13:00 > 0:13:04..seventeen, eighteen.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Pages twenty one and twenty two -
0:13:10 > 0:13:12now tear them out carefully.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Page thirty.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23AIR RAID SIREN
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- It's the British. - Emily, don't be nervous.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32We have plenty of time. We must take shelter..
0:13:34 > 0:13:37..even from our friends in the sky.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Now, when you pass out,
0:13:39 > 0:13:44give me all the pages you have taken out of your books.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48The day will come when we will paste them back.
0:14:12 > 0:14:18Order, young man. Don't let girls be better soldiers than the men.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- Could I get my mother? She's so afraid of the raids.- Go ahead.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Albert, why are you running? Why aren't you in the shelter?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00EXPLOSIONS AND GUNFIRE
0:15:04 > 0:15:07HAMMERING AT DOOR Professor Sorel.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Huh!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20There's room over here, Mrs Lory.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46You move over here. There's a draft in this cellar.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51He catches cold easily. His lungs are weak.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57THEY IMITATE AEROPLANES
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Shhh! Now they're over us. - Four engines.- Wellingtons!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04No, they're American. Just listen to them.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07THEY IMITATE AEROPLANES Shhh!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11HE IMITATES THE SCREAM OF A BOMB DROPPING
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Boom!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It's outrageous, bombing civilians.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Why don't they stay at home? Things are bad enough.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I wish I could see the sky full of them.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Why don't they bomb Germany, young woman?
0:16:29 > 0:16:36Every factory and railroad in Europe is Germany until the Germans are driven out.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42SCREAM OF BOMBS DROPPING
0:16:42 > 0:16:45EXPLOSIONS
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Emily, there's nothing to be worried about.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03We're perfectly safe down here.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It'll be over in a few minutes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16LAUGHTER Look at Mr Lory.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Young men...
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Let's all sing. If we sing loud enough, we won't hear the guns.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I know that Julian Lamont has a good strong voice.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Girls, we don't want the boys to sing louder than us.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Now, are you all ready? One, two.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03# Ting-a-ling, ring-o-ring
0:18:03 > 0:18:05# Two bells in the steeple
0:18:05 > 0:18:08# Ting-a-ling, ring-o-ring
0:18:08 > 0:18:10# Calling all the people
0:18:10 > 0:18:13# Guide you on our way from play
0:18:13 > 0:18:15# Work begins another day
0:18:15 > 0:18:18# Ting-a-ling, ring-o-ring,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21# Welcoming another day
0:18:21 > 0:18:24# Ting-a-ling, ring-o-ring
0:18:24 > 0:18:27# Two bells in the steeple
0:18:27 > 0:18:29# Slowly swing, another ring
0:18:29 > 0:18:33# Calling all the people
0:18:33 > 0:18:36# Here the pealing clear and high
0:18:36 > 0:18:39# Like those angels in the sky
0:18:39 > 0:18:42# Ting-a-ling, ring-o-ring
0:18:42 > 0:18:44# High in the steeple... #
0:18:44 > 0:18:48BELL TOLLS
0:18:48 > 0:18:51KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Come in.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- You wished to see me?- Yes, Mr Lory.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I know what you're going to say. I know I'm ridiculous.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12I'm stupid and weak. I can't help it, sir.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- I'm a coward.- No, no.- Yes, I can't stand violence. It terrifies me.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Noises and explosions, something happens to me.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26I can't conceal it from the boys any longer. They see it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29They saw it this morning. You saw it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Even Miss Martin.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Sit down, Mr Lory.- No, sir.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Now she knows I'm a coward.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43Would you like to be transferred to where there are no air raids?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- No, no, no.- Because of Miss Martin?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Yes.- Does she know how you feel?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I thought you were a confirmed bachelor like me.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Like all young men, I fell in love,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00but she died.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I found great comfort in my work - our work.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07My family became this school,
0:20:07 > 0:20:12my books, my teachers, my pupils - many of them have grown up.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17It's wonderful to be a schoolmaster. It's a life work, Lory.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You sacrifice a lot but you receive a lot.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23We are the most important people in the land.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Now is a time for sacrifice more than ever.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Our real happiness lies in doing our job well.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Our mayor was here this morning talking about duty.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I prefer to use the word job.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42These books must be burnt. We can't resist physically.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46But morally, within us, we can resist.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49We contain those books, we contain truth.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54They can't destroy the truth without destroying all of us.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59We can keep the truth alive if the children believe in us.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Children like to follow a leader.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05There are two kinds of leader.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10We have no weapons, we don't march except to air raid shelters.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Our heroes are called criminals and shot against walls.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16The others have guns and parades.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22They teach violence, vanity, everything that appeals to children.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Their criminals are called heroes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27That's a lot of competition, Lory.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33Love of liberty isn't glamorous. Respect for people isn't exciting.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37There's one weapon they can't take away - our dignity.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It's going to be a fight, it IS a fight.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44If the children admire us, they will follow us.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45EXPLOSION
0:21:52 > 0:21:55We will win, Lory.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Or maybe we will get shot.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Everyone of us they execute wins a battle for our cause,
0:22:01 > 0:22:06because he dies a hero and heroism is glamorous to children.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I don't ask you to die - not immediately.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18Think about these things and they'll help when we are visited by our friends in the sky.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Can you handle your class and feel less nervous next time?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Yes, I'll try.- Good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Professor Sorel.- Yes, Victor?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- What's the trouble?- There's been a wreck at the railroad yard.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Now it begins.- They'll take hostages even if it was an accident.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Now we've got to be strong, Lory.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Number nine. I haven't touched it since.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Was it all right? - Yes, I watched the train back in.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16Well, I expected it to but it ended up in front of the other train.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- It was too late to do anything. - See if it works now.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Control cable's broken.- Cut.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- You know nothing about it?- No, it was all right when I pulled it.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38You turned in an illegal newspaper this morning.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- That's right, sir. - Any idea where it comes from?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44No, sir.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48If you do get an idea, will you report it?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I think so.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Martin, this was an accident.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- You understand?- Yes, sir.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19So, Hans, am I in a jam?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Ach, no.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- You smoke and forget it, Paul. - Thanks.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35What's the old man up to? Why does he call it an accident?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37We never ask questions.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42TRAIN WHISTLE
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- <- Oh, Julie!
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- Where's George?- In his office. He's in an awful temper.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56I'm worried about Paul. That fat pig just left the switch tower.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00If the boss asks, I've gone to the warehouse.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03You don't have to worry about Paul.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07< Go ahead and load, number four. We'll get the tracks cleared.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Speed it up.- George?- Hello, darling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13The men will have to work overtime.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Refer any complaints to me.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Call me back when you're finished.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I'm in for some trouble. Everything is in a mess.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30- I'm worried.- So am I. Everything seemed all right at the switch tower.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35I work so hard to keep everything moving. They'll blame me.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Perhaps I'm selfish but I'm thinking about me.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Something's happened that I don't understand.- What?
0:25:42 > 0:25:49I went to buy dinner and when I got back, the house had been searched. I...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Excuse me, Lambert, if I'm intruding.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- That's OK.- You know my adjutant?- Yes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Louise, this is Major von Keller and Captain Schwartz - Miss Martin.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11I know Miss Martin very well, even if she doesn't know me.
0:26:11 > 0:26:18It is my duty to know what the teachers are teaching and thinking.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21How are your friends in the sky?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I wanted to talk to you alone.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33She wants to ask about some papers she's lost.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Not lost, stolen.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42My report says neither. The forbidden pages were burned.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We protect the people from their own mistakes.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51- What did you do?- Nothing - except prove our efficiency.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I found out what I wanted to ask you. I'll see you tonight.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Don't be disturbed. We've more important matters to discuss.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I've been investigating the wreck.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- An unfortunate accident. - I wouldn't call it an accident.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Neither would I. It was sabotage.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I knew that illegal newspaper would cause trouble.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Do you suspect anyone?- I don't know.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26Who prints the newspaper? Every man in this yard gets a copy.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- Find the publishers and find the saboteurs.- Logical but not helpful.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Not very intelligent for either of us. You said sabotage.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It is sabotage.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You don't understand, my friend.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49Look, if we call it sabotage I will have to take hostages from the town,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53and shoot them finally, if the guilty are not found.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57I don't like to shoot innocent people.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Once you begin making martyrs, it never stops.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Finally, we end up on a powder keg.
0:28:03 > 0:28:09- I see.- The taking of hostages will make the guilty more cautious.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13The shooting will make them more rebellious.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Next time, a troop train will be wrecked.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Fortunately, no German soldiers were killed.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Whatever was destroyed by this "accident" can be replaced.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29This town's good citizens will eat less and talk more.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You can't be blamed for an accident.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35In the meantime, we keep our ears open.
0:28:35 > 0:28:41I have many ears and you're in touch with all those who work here.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Do you think they tell me anything?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48They regard anybody who gives orders as an enemy.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51We had the same problem in Germany,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54during the Republic under capitalism.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59I killed workers with my own hands for our Fuhrer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:05With both hands then. For my class, it was either kill or be killed.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09But we won and now we are brothers - absolute obedience.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13I too fought the unions in this yard. I nearly died.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18You had a leader and were many. We had no leader and were few.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20That's why you're here.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- But not as your enemy.- If you were, I wouldn't do what I do.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30We're here to rebuild your country. Remember Germany before our Fuhrer?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33A country without food, arms or honour.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37The people were waiting to be told the truth.
0:29:37 > 0:29:44We have shed German blood to give that truth to your people and the whole world.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Your ideas are my ideas. I saw our country being destroyed.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52False democratic ideas, women refusing to have children,
0:29:52 > 0:29:58strikes for a 40-hour week when your people worked 70 and 80 hours.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I want the new order for my country, I work for it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I know we can't have it until this war is over.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09But the truth is I don't like the occupation.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Neither do I. I'm glad we understand each other.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We both want this war to end.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Only then can Europe be peaceful and united.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25Only then can men like you regain their dignity and honour.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Let us both work for that day.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Paul! Paul, it was you.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Oh, Paul, why didn't you tell me it was you, it was you?

0:35:25 > 0:35:28So bloed. Abreden.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32That settles it. The man got away - not even recognised.
0:35:32 > 0:35:38This concerns you. An attempt was made on your life as well as mine.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- Any suggestions?- The two men you arrested must know who it was.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46You don't understand your people.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I know these men. We had them in Germany - fanatics.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54They'll die but they won't talk. I'll have to take hostages.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Two German soldiers have been killed.
0:35:57 > 0:36:03- I'm so sorry, Major von Keller.- My superiors won't accept apologies.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Have you ever studied this paper?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12"They make a desert and they call it peace."
0:36:12 > 0:36:15That's classical flavour.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Who wrote that? - The two men you arrested.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Oh, no, my dear Mayor, they were only printers.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26They're the hands, I'm looking for the brain.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29This shows scholarship.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Schwartz, give me the list of books on Professor Sorel's desk.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Voltaire, Plato, Juvenal, Tacitus.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Tacitus! Ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- You recognise it, Manville? - Is it Greek?- It's Latin.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Tacitus was speaking of the Roman occupation.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58"They make a desert and they call it peace."
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- We've got it. - Surely you don't suspect Sorel?
0:37:02 > 0:37:07I've known him all my life. He's a little radical, crazy ideas.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11I never agreed with him but he's highly respected.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- He'd never try to kill me.- Of course not. Have a glass of wine.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Let's drink a toast to Tacitus.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Boys, boys!
0:37:44 > 0:37:47What have you been doing?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54I'm very disappointed. This is a place of learning and culture.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57The first requisite of culture is good manners.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02I've tried to keep dignity but if you continue to misbehave,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I'll report you to the principal.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Edmund, what's that on your face?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10They say I'm a Jew.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Who did it?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I don't know, sir.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Got to the washroom and clean your face.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Mr Lory, come quickly! They're arresting Professor Sorel.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Professor Sorel! They mustn't take you.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Don't leave us. We can't run the school without you.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Don't leave us!- Dignity, Lory. You can run the school.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Stop it! Let go! You can't take him. I won't let you.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Father!
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Father! Father!- It's all right, son.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02Don't worry, I'll be back. Comfort your mother. You're the man now.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14You're a brave boy, Edmund.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29You're wasting your time. And mine too.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34You surely can't have anything against Professor Sorel.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Everyone respects him. Some of us love him. He's a good man.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- MUSIC STOPS - He writes well. I admire his style.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- You know he'd never do anything violent. Mr Lorraine...- He's a Jew.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56- What will happen to them?- Two German soldiers were murdered today.
0:39:56 > 0:40:03Unless the criminal gives himself up, ten hostages will be shot but not by me.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08But by the cowardly criminal who won't confess his guilt.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- You'd shoot innocent men? - I'd have nothing to do with it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16But I'm not grieving for the innocence of Sorel.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22Your hostility to me comes from him. You pass it on to your pupils.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25We must stamp out these ideas in the schools.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30Children are the soldiers and mothers of tomorrow.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Ten years ago, our children were like yours.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37We threw out the Sorels and took over the schools.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- They'll rule the world.- You won't!
0:40:42 > 0:40:48If I didn't know you're marrying a reliable man, I'd worry about you.
0:40:49 > 0:40:55Thank you for helping me understand exactly what this occupation means.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Thank you for your company, Miss Martin.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Don't worry too much about Sorel.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05We have ways of finding out things.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09The chances are we'll find the guilty man.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14My regards to Lambert. And save me some wedding cake.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39Come and sit down.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43I know how you feel but crying won't do any good.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- There now. Is that better? - Oh, George!
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I'm frightened. I'm scared to death.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Life is getting terrible. I don't know what to do.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59I need you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Of course you do. That's what I'm here for.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09I love you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14I know about Sorel and that they took that shopkeeper Lorraine
0:42:14 > 0:42:17and eight other men. One of them worked here.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22If they find the man who threw the bomb, they'll be released.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27You don't understand. The man who threw the bomb...
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Oh, George, I'm in such an awful situation.- I know.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35The man who threw the bomb is a criminal.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38If he had any courage, he'd admit his guilt.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43- You really believe he's a criminal? - We all hate this occupation.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48I told Major von Keller just that. But we must face facts.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53They have the power. If one of us resists and gets killed,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56he takes the risk and the punishment himself.
0:42:56 > 0:43:03The man who resists with acts of sabotage escapes but innocent people die.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- You really think that? - It's obvious, darling.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- Anyone who resists ought to give himself up?!- Yes.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18- Then there's no more resistance. - Isn't it better to have peace?
0:43:18 > 0:43:22What happens to a nation if all its citizens die?
0:43:22 > 0:43:28But I saw them take Professor Sorel. He isn't afraid to die.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32He's old, we're young. Life means everything to us.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36I know young men who aren't afraid to die.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50No, George! I was in love with you, perhaps I still am.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I feel as if I don't really know you.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57This is the first time you've been frank with me.

0:52:19 > 0:52:23- Now what do you want?- Albert Lory?
0:52:24 > 0:52:28- What is it you want? - Albert Lory, hostage.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Oh!
0:52:30 > 0:52:35- I won't let you take my boy. - Don't make trouble now.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38- He's innocent.- We have our orders.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44Don't you touch him. My boy is innocent.
0:52:44 > 0:52:49If you lay your hands on him, I'll go to our mayor. Get out!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Mein Herr!
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Where did you get this? Under the door.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59He's innocent.
0:52:59 > 0:53:04- Let me tell you!- Mother... - Let me tell you. - SHE WAILS
0:53:14 > 0:53:19- Get out of my way! I want to see Major von Keller.- He's busy.
0:53:19 > 0:53:23- Do you have an appointment? - I'm Mrs Emma Lory.
0:53:23 > 0:53:29Send in an application and I'll let you know in a few days.
0:53:37 > 0:53:42The mayor's meeting the council. Impossible to see anyone.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Perhaps he'll see Emma Bellard.
0:53:44 > 0:53:51- 40 years he got his face slapped for trying to kiss her. - Come back tomorrow.
0:53:56 > 0:54:01Sorry, Mrs Lory, the superintendent is very busy.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13- Now, really, Mrs Lory! - George Lambert, you listen to me.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17Do you know what they have done to my boy?
0:54:17 > 0:54:21- I'm very sorry. - Sorry my eye! Do something.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Sit down and listen to me!
0:54:26 > 0:54:29SOMEONE PLAYS PIANO SCALES
0:54:29 > 0:54:35Go to bed now, Susie. You've practised enough. Come kiss me.
0:54:43 > 0:54:49You've not only done your duty, you can also expect a reward.
0:54:49 > 0:54:53I want no reward, sir. This is very hard for me to do.
0:54:54 > 0:54:59Between you and me, I hope he is the man.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02You know I have to handle von Keller carefully.
0:55:02 > 0:55:08He's been ordered to increase the shipment of food from this district.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11Our people are hungry enough as it is.
0:55:11 > 0:55:16It'll keep von Keller happy if I can deliver the saboteur.
0:55:16 > 0:55:21I'll save many lives. Not just Lory but also my friend Sorel.
0:55:21 > 0:55:26They won't release Sorel unless Paul tells who threw the bomb.
0:55:26 > 0:55:32The thing that makes me mad is how he fooled us - me, his best friend,
0:55:32 > 0:55:35making friends with the Germans.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38- I can't stand hypocrisy. - Neither can I.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42They say I'm a collaborationist. I am and you know why.
0:55:42 > 0:55:47It's easy for people in free countries to call us names.
0:55:47 > 0:55:54- When the Germans march in, they'll make the best of it. - Or they'll get the worst of it.
0:55:54 > 0:55:59I do my duty. As mayor, my duty is to defend this town.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Where can they find Martin?
0:56:02 > 0:56:08- At home?- He's on the night shift. He'll be at the switch tower in half an hour.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15Hello, operator. I want to speak to Major von Keller.

0:56:35 > 0:56:42# Was soll es bedeuten
0:56:42 > 0:56:47# Dass ich so traurig bin? #

0:57:14 > 0:57:17Fraulein, bleib doch hier!

0:57:42 > 0:57:46Why don't you go with her? Isn't she your type?
0:57:46 > 0:57:49I know what people say.
0:57:50 > 0:57:54You've got to stick by me, Julie. Believe in me.
0:57:54 > 0:57:59I've tried to, Paul, but this is too much.
0:58:00 > 0:58:05I hate these soldiers. They killed my brother.
0:58:05 > 0:58:10Not these fellows. He...he was killed at the front,
0:58:10 > 0:58:13- before the armistice.- I hate you!
0:58:13 > 0:58:16- Julie. - Don't touch me. Don't speak to me.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19I never want to see you again.

0:59:15 > 0:59:18You're early. Have a smoke.
0:59:18 > 0:59:20Thanks.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22Here's a light.
0:59:23 > 0:59:27- Is anything wrong? - You know I love Louise?- Sure.
0:59:27 > 0:59:31Do you know what it means to me to lose her?
0:59:31 > 0:59:34- You'll make up.- I don't think so.
0:59:34 > 0:59:40- Are you my friend?- Sure. - Am I yours?- Say, what is this?
0:59:40 > 0:59:48If you were in my place and you knew who did the sabotage, would you tell?
0:59:49 > 0:59:52- Do you know who did it?- Yes.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56- And you told?- Yes.
0:59:56 > 0:59:59Why did you do it?
1:00:01 > 1:00:04Why did YOU do it, George?
1:00:07 > 1:00:10Don't look at me like that.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13You're looking at yourself.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16That's what you can't stand.
1:00:16 > 1:00:21You can't stand it and that's why you've warned me. Thanks, George.
1:00:22 > 1:00:25Paul! Paul!
1:00:25 > 1:00:28Paul, I've got to talk to you.
1:00:28 > 1:00:33- Don't move. Stay here. Hold her, George.- Paul! Paul!

1:02:41 > 1:02:44Ah! My boy, my boy!
1:02:47 > 1:02:50My boy, let me look at you.
1:02:50 > 1:02:55I couldn't sleep thinking of you in that horrible prison.
1:02:55 > 1:02:59It was very nice. I saw Professor Sorel.
1:02:59 > 1:03:03He was right across from me. We talked all night.
1:03:03 > 1:03:07When the Germans listened, we talked in Latin.
1:03:08 > 1:03:13You had a good time while I was lying awake thinking of you.
1:03:13 > 1:03:19Just like a man - talk, talk, talk - and let the women worry.
1:03:19 > 1:03:23I'm worried. They didn't release Professor Sorel.
1:03:23 > 1:03:26I was the only one they let go. Why let me go?
1:03:26 > 1:03:30They're know you're needed at the school.
1:03:30 > 1:03:33Come along, have your breakfast.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36But Professor Sorel is needed more than I am.
1:03:36 > 1:03:42Don't let's ask questions. They'll let him out, you'll see.
1:03:42 > 1:03:45Come now, have your breakfast, my darling.
1:03:45 > 1:03:49- I must tell Paul and Louise. - No! No! NO!
1:03:52 > 1:03:56Mother, I must tell her I'm free. It'll make her happy.
1:03:56 > 1:03:59Albert, don't leave me.
1:03:59 > 1:04:03- What's the matter, Mother? - I don't feel well.
1:04:03 > 1:04:08You must shave and change. You can't go out looking like that.
1:04:08 > 1:04:12But the house is only next door. I shan't be a minute.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25HE WHISTLES
1:04:39 > 1:04:41Louise?
1:04:42 > 1:04:45Where's Paul?
1:04:48 > 1:04:52You coward! You know what happened to Paul.
1:04:52 > 1:04:58They killed him. That's why you're free. To think we trusted you.
1:04:58 > 1:05:01You're weak but I told Paul you'd keep quiet.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04Did they pay you or just give you your life?
1:05:04 > 1:05:07- It's not worth much.- Louise!
1:05:07 > 1:05:10You're the only one that knew. Get out!
1:05:10 > 1:05:13Get out!
1:05:18 > 1:05:24Don't let that girl hurt you. She's mixed up in it with her brother.
1:05:24 > 1:05:27- He's dead. - And you're free, thank God!
1:05:27 > 1:05:32- You may as well know, I'm the one who told.- Told?!
1:05:32 > 1:05:36- Told what?! - I saw him climb through the window.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39You?! My own mother told the Germans?!
1:05:39 > 1:05:43I told George Lambert.
1:05:43 > 1:05:45George Lambert!
1:05:45 > 1:05:49- Son!- George Lambert.
1:05:49 > 1:05:51Albert! He's your friend.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54George Lambert!
1:05:55 > 1:05:58TRAIN WHISTLE
1:06:02 > 1:06:04Good morning, Lambert.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11Mmm, I feel poetic this morning.
1:06:13 > 1:06:17"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?
1:06:18 > 1:06:21"Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
1:06:21 > 1:06:27"Or, if thou wilt not, be but thus sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet."
1:06:27 > 1:06:33Shakespeare. We love him in Germany. The English don't understand him.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35Sit down.
1:06:35 > 1:06:40You look as if you have indigestion or didn't you sleep well?
1:06:42 > 1:06:46Now me, I slept better than I have for weeks.
1:06:50 > 1:06:54She'll never know. We keep our secrets.
1:06:54 > 1:06:57Don't worry about that broken engagement.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01Now she'll be lonely and make up with you.
1:07:02 > 1:07:07Too bad he wasn't taken alive. I think somebody warned him.
1:07:09 > 1:07:13- Have you released the hostages? - By no means.
1:07:13 > 1:07:15Only that fool schoolmaster.
1:07:15 > 1:07:20After that, we won't have trouble keeping him in line.
1:07:20 > 1:07:24One for one. Fair trade and good business.
1:07:26 > 1:07:31Sadly, your friend Martin is dead. And dead men can't talk.
1:07:31 > 1:07:36But I've thought of a way to find his accomplices.
1:07:36 > 1:07:40People might be afraid to go to the funeral tomorrow.
1:07:40 > 1:07:43But you will go and comfort her.
1:07:43 > 1:07:48She will admire you for risking my displeasure.
1:07:48 > 1:07:53She will cry on your shoulder. I'm making up your quarrel for you.
1:07:53 > 1:07:59She knows who the accomplices were and you know the way to my office.
1:08:04 > 1:08:07Do you think I'd do that?
1:08:10 > 1:08:13I'm sure you will.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15DOOR OPENS
1:08:15 > 1:08:19- I have something for the superintendent.- Come in.
1:08:21 > 1:08:26We caught it in a trap in the loft. I thought you'd like it for dinner.
1:08:26 > 1:08:30It's a fine, fat bird. I wouldn't mind having it.
1:08:36 > 1:08:40I'm expecting to hear from you tomorrow night, Lambert.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43- I hope you like it, sir.- Oh, thanks.
1:09:37 > 1:09:40GUNSHOT
1:10:01 > 1:10:05Murder! Murder!
1:10:12 > 1:10:18I can only sum up by saying the murder has been proved,
1:10:18 > 1:10:24by the witnesses, by the gun he was holding, by the blood on his handkerchief,
1:10:24 > 1:10:30and a very clear motive - one of the oldest motives in history -
1:10:30 > 1:10:33jealousy.
1:10:33 > 1:10:35You may find it preposterous
1:10:35 > 1:10:40that a man of his timid character could become so enamoured
1:10:40 > 1:10:45so as to commit an act of violence to dispose of a rival.
1:10:46 > 1:10:52I've never seen a man too old to look at a charming young lady.
1:10:52 > 1:10:58I wouldn't give my oath that such glances are always innocent.
1:10:59 > 1:11:04All I ask is a just verdict. The prosecution rests.
1:11:04 > 1:11:09This court regrets that you refuse to be defended by counsel.
1:11:09 > 1:11:13You'll address the jury from where you sit.
1:11:13 > 1:11:18I advise you to speak clearly and to the point.
1:11:18 > 1:11:24I shall be brief because I have written down all I have to say.
1:11:30 > 1:11:33I don't understand. I'm sure I had my papers.
1:11:35 > 1:11:38It's all I've been doing in my cell.
1:11:38 > 1:11:44It was a little hole, but I've been away so long, nobody's sewn it up.
1:11:45 > 1:11:48I hope you'll excuse me for speaking badly.
1:11:48 > 1:11:52I've never been able to speak in public.
1:11:52 > 1:11:56I hope the prosecutor won't think I'm disrespectful
1:11:56 > 1:12:01to the court and the legal profession in having no lawyer.
1:12:01 > 1:12:04My only defence is the truth.
1:12:04 > 1:12:09Nobody knows the truth as well as I. I was the only one who was there.
1:12:09 > 1:12:13The truth is I wanted to kill George Lambert
1:12:13 > 1:12:16but I don't think I could have.
1:12:16 > 1:12:20I'm too weak. I'm a coward.
1:12:20 > 1:12:24Everybody knows that, even the prosecutor.
1:12:24 > 1:12:27That's why he's making fun of me.
1:12:27 > 1:12:32I'm not a coward here. I have brave dreams.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35I'm not afraid to commit murder here.
1:12:35 > 1:12:40But when I face reality...outside...
1:12:42 > 1:12:46..I'm lost. I'm a coward.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50It's strange. We're two people, all of us.
1:12:50 > 1:12:53Inside and outside.
1:12:55 > 1:12:58George Lambert was two men.
1:12:58 > 1:13:02It wasn't until I saw him dead that I realised it.
1:13:02 > 1:13:05I knew why he'd killed himself.
1:13:05 > 1:13:08He couldn't face reality.
1:13:08 > 1:13:14But he was different from me. He was strong outside...
1:13:15 > 1:13:17..and weak inside.
1:13:18 > 1:13:21Inside he was a coward.
1:13:22 > 1:13:25When this honest coward had to face
1:13:25 > 1:13:30what that other George, brave George, had done...
1:13:32 > 1:13:35..he couldn't stand it.
1:13:35 > 1:13:38So he killed himself.
1:13:38 > 1:13:45It's strange but I felt strong for the first time in my life when I saw him dead.
1:13:45 > 1:13:48I was sorry for him.
1:13:48 > 1:13:52I suddenly understood everything.
1:13:52 > 1:13:55In a way, I'm to blame for his death...
1:13:55 > 1:13:58through my mother's love for me.
1:14:00 > 1:14:04Even love can be a terrible thing.
1:14:04 > 1:14:06It can commit crimes.
1:14:08 > 1:14:11Louise, you thought I informed on Paul.
1:14:13 > 1:14:15It was my mother.
1:14:15 > 1:14:20To save me, she told George.
1:14:21 > 1:14:26George told the mayor, who told Major von Keller and Paul was killed.
1:14:29 > 1:14:32Even Mayor Manville is two men.
1:14:32 > 1:14:36They both appear strong but they're both weak.
1:14:36 > 1:14:43The outside man pretends he's saving the town to hide the inside man who's saving himself.
1:14:43 > 1:14:48I object. The accused has no right to slander our mayor.
1:14:48 > 1:14:53If this is a court of justice, I have a right to be heard.
1:14:53 > 1:14:58If not, how can we believe our courts deal out justice
1:14:58 > 1:15:02- under the occupation, as the newspapers insist?- Proceed.
1:15:02 > 1:15:08Even before the war, our mayor was sure the enemy was not the Germans,
1:15:08 > 1:15:13- but a part of our people. - We found your speech outside.
1:15:13 > 1:15:17The mayor was born poor. Then he became powerful.
1:15:17 > 1:15:22Then he began to fear the very people he'd come from.
1:15:22 > 1:15:26Huh! Our country is full of people like that.
1:15:26 > 1:15:29Every country is.
1:15:29 > 1:15:36George Lambert was not powerful but took the side of the powerful men he admired.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38He found he got on better that way.
1:15:38 > 1:15:45I object. The accused is exploiting this courtroom to indulge in dangerous political talk.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48But it's the basis of my defence.
1:15:48 > 1:15:53Can the accused slander his victim in a court of justice?
1:15:53 > 1:15:56Is this a free court or not?
1:15:56 > 1:16:02- Then the court must permit me to call a new witness.- Who?
1:16:02 > 1:16:06Mayor Henry Manville. He'll be here by the morning.
1:16:06 > 1:16:11- I request an adjournment. - Has the accused any objection?
1:16:11 > 1:16:13Not at all.
1:16:13 > 1:16:18Very well. This session stands adjourned.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05Good evening, Lory.
1:17:07 > 1:17:11I heard about that torn pocket. You lost your speech.
1:17:11 > 1:17:15But you did all right from all accounts.
1:17:15 > 1:17:18- May I sit down?- Please, of course.
1:17:24 > 1:17:26Sit down.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32Lory, I was mistaken about you.
1:17:32 > 1:17:35You are a man of real courage.
1:17:35 > 1:17:37Oh no, I'm not.
1:17:37 > 1:17:43I know what you said in court but you're wrong. I know you better.
1:17:43 > 1:17:46I was a fool not to realise it sooner.
1:17:46 > 1:17:49- Cigarette?- No, thank you.
1:18:07 > 1:18:11This is my second one. MAJOR KELLER LAUGHS
1:18:11 > 1:18:14Lory, I like you.
1:18:14 > 1:18:19Too bad - you made a great mistake in court today.
1:18:19 > 1:18:24You say you're a coward, but you disproved it by what you said.
1:18:24 > 1:18:26Now they know you killed Lambert.
1:18:26 > 1:18:30- But I didn't. - Come, come - I'm here to save you.
1:18:30 > 1:18:35- I'm your friend. - I told the truth - I didn't.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43Lory, I believe you.
1:18:44 > 1:18:50Now I remember the way Lambert looked when I left him. That makes it all very easy.
1:18:52 > 1:19:00Lambert was despondent because of losing Miss Martin. There will be a suicide note. You'll be acquitted.
1:19:01 > 1:19:06- Oh.- You won't have to say another word in court.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12Did they find a suicide note?
1:19:12 > 1:19:15Hmm, you're a poet Lory, a poet.
1:19:15 > 1:19:20- Why are you trying to save my life? - I told you - I like you.
1:19:21 > 1:19:25Oh, I see. you don't want me to say anything more in court.
1:19:25 > 1:19:29My dear Lory, it's a peculiar situation.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31A courtroom is a public forum.
1:19:31 > 1:19:39Of course, we Germans could take over the whole administration, but we prefer not to.
1:19:39 > 1:19:45We prefer to give freedom to those we defeat on the battlefield.
1:19:45 > 1:19:49But freedom must be limited by the necessities of war.
1:19:49 > 1:19:56It's a very small sacrifice we ask of you when WE are still sacrificing our lives.
1:19:56 > 1:20:02I have nothing to conceal. I tell you these things as a man of intelligence.
1:20:02 > 1:20:06Lambert was a tool - very honest, but not very bright.
1:20:06 > 1:20:14You're right - the mayor is working for his own interest. We need them. They're in every country we invade.
1:20:14 > 1:20:19Why, even in Germany. That's the way our party got into power.
1:20:19 > 1:20:24They're everywhere and that's why nothing can stop us from winning.
1:20:24 > 1:20:31America thinks of invasion in terms of armies and aeroplanes, but they are already invaded.
1:20:31 > 1:20:38The honest Lamberts and the dishonest Manvilles are waiting to welcome us, just as in Europe.
1:20:38 > 1:20:42If we need peace, as a further weapon of conquest,
1:20:42 > 1:20:47their patriotism will find plenty of arguments for peace.
1:20:47 > 1:20:52What is the United States but a charming cocktail of Irish and Jews?
1:20:52 > 1:20:55- Very spectacular but very childish. - LORY LAUGHS
1:20:55 > 1:21:03And England? A few old ladies wearing their grandfathers' leather breeches. Well, Lory?
1:21:03 > 1:21:06What do you say?
1:21:09 > 1:21:13- Could I have another light for my cigarette?- Certainly.- Thank you.
1:21:22 > 1:21:30Lory, I'm glad you've decided to live and be a free man. You're a schoolmaster,
1:21:30 > 1:21:34and you have a great duty - the regeneration of youth.
1:21:34 > 1:21:41You must make them ready for the world of tomorrow. Believe me, it will be a fine world.

1:23:02 > 1:23:06You may call your witness, Mr Prosecutor.
1:23:06 > 1:23:09It will not be necessary to call Manville.
1:23:09 > 1:23:12Happily, new evidence has been found
1:23:12 > 1:23:18- which will make this trial unnecessary.- Why hasn't the court been informed?
1:23:18 > 1:23:25I only found it today among some mail I'd forgotten to open. It's in George Lambert's handwriting.
1:23:25 > 1:23:28It was mailed before his death.
1:23:28 > 1:23:33I offer it in evidence. It saves us from a grave miscarriage of justice.
1:23:33 > 1:23:36It shows George Lambert intended suicide.
1:23:36 > 1:23:39Your Honour, it's a forgery.
1:23:39 > 1:23:42I know all about that letter.
1:23:42 > 1:23:49- I mean...- Quiet, you fool! - One moment, Mr Prosecutor. What do you mean, Lory?
1:23:49 > 1:23:54- The letter's forged. Major Keller told me.- The man's insane!
1:23:54 > 1:23:58No, I'm not insane. The prosecutor wrote that letter to himself.
1:23:58 > 1:24:01I think he's trying to save my life.
1:24:01 > 1:24:04LAUGHTER, BELL TINKLES
1:24:04 > 1:24:07This is no laughing matter!
1:24:07 > 1:24:13Your Honour, I ask that the man who started that unseemly outburst be removed from the room.
1:24:13 > 1:24:19The court agrees, Mr Prosecutor. Which of you started that laughter?
1:24:19 > 1:24:21SILENCE
1:24:21 > 1:24:25I ask you again - who started the laughter?
1:24:25 > 1:24:31Excuse me, Your Honour. I don't know but I think I can guess. Maybe it was the unknown soldier.
1:24:35 > 1:24:38- Proceed, Mr Lory.- Thank you, sir.
1:24:38 > 1:24:40I am a very lucky man.
1:24:40 > 1:24:46This is the only place left in my country where a man can still speak out.
1:24:46 > 1:24:49I ask that the courtroom be cleared.
1:24:49 > 1:24:55He's afraid, Your Honour. He wants to deprive me of my last chance to speak.
1:24:55 > 1:24:59I know I'm a condemned man. I know I must die. Are you going to let me speak, Your Honour?
1:24:59 > 1:25:05- Or are you afraid to?- I demand that the courtroom be cleared.
1:25:07 > 1:25:10Proceed, Mr Lory.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12Thank you.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14Thank you, sir.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18I'm a very lucky man.
1:25:18 > 1:25:23Last night, I had a moment of weakness. I wanted to live.
1:25:23 > 1:25:28Major von Keller told me beautiful things about the future of our world.
1:25:28 > 1:25:31I almost believed him.
1:25:31 > 1:25:37But it's hard for people like you and me to know what is evil and what is good.
1:25:37 > 1:25:45It's easy for the working people to know the enemy because the aim of this invasion is to make them slaves.
1:25:45 > 1:25:51But it's easy for middle-class people to believe a German victory is not such a bad thing.
1:25:51 > 1:25:57We hear people say that too much liberty brings chaos and disorder.
1:25:57 > 1:26:02That's why I was tempted last night by Major von Keller in my cell.
1:26:02 > 1:26:09But this morning, I looked out through bars and saw this beautiful new world working.
1:26:09 > 1:26:14I saw ten men die because they still believed in freedom.
1:26:14 > 1:26:19Among them was a man I loved - Professor Sorel.
1:26:19 > 1:26:22He waved at me as if telling me what to do.
1:26:22 > 1:26:25I knew then I had to die.
1:26:25 > 1:26:28The strange thing is, I was happy.
1:26:28 > 1:26:32Your Honour, I demand an adjournment!
1:26:32 > 1:26:35Quiet, please.
1:26:35 > 1:26:39Those ten men died because of Paul Martin.
1:26:39 > 1:26:44They didn't blame Paul Martin - they were proud of him.
1:26:44 > 1:26:47Paul was a soldier,
1:26:47 > 1:26:51without glory, but in a wonderful cause.
1:26:51 > 1:26:58I see now that sabotage is the only weapon left to a defeated people.
1:26:58 > 1:27:04And so long as we have saboteurs, the other free nations who are still fighting
1:27:04 > 1:27:07will know that we are not defeated.
1:27:07 > 1:27:10Oh, I know -
1:27:10 > 1:27:16for every German killed many of our innocent citizens are executed,
1:27:16 > 1:27:21but the example of their heroism is contagious
1:27:21 > 1:27:25and our resistance grows.
1:27:25 > 1:27:29Oh, it's very easy to talk about heroism in the free countries.
1:27:29 > 1:27:35But it's hard to talk about it here where our people are starving.
1:27:35 > 1:27:37The hard truth is,
1:27:37 > 1:27:42the hungrier we get, the more we need our heroes.
1:27:42 > 1:27:48We must stop saying that sabotage is wrong - that it doesn't pay.
1:27:48 > 1:27:50It DOES pay.
1:27:50 > 1:27:53It makes us suffer,
1:27:53 > 1:27:56starve and die.
1:27:56 > 1:27:59Though it increases our misery,
1:27:59 > 1:28:02it will shorten our slavery.
1:28:02 > 1:28:06That's our hard choice.
1:28:06 > 1:28:13Even now they are bringing more troops into town because of the trouble that has started.
1:28:13 > 1:28:19The more German soldiers here, the less they have on the fighting fronts.
1:28:19 > 1:28:23Even an occupied town like this
1:28:23 > 1:28:26can be a fighting front, too.
1:28:26 > 1:28:30And the fighting is harder.
1:28:30 > 1:28:34We not only have to fight hunger and a tyrant,
1:28:34 > 1:28:38first, we have to fight ourselves.
1:28:38 > 1:28:42The occupation - any occupation in any land -
1:28:42 > 1:28:48is only possible because we are corrupt. I accuse myself first.
1:28:48 > 1:28:54I made no protest against the mutilation of the truth in our school books.
1:28:54 > 1:28:57My mother got me extra food and milk,
1:28:57 > 1:29:01and I accepted it without facing the fact
1:29:01 > 1:29:05that I was depriving children of their portion.
1:29:05 > 1:29:08You're the butcher, Mr Noble.
1:29:08 > 1:29:13Naturally, you wanted to survive and the black market was your answer.
1:29:13 > 1:29:20You keep your business going by selling meat out the back door at ten times its price.
1:29:20 > 1:29:24Some to my mother, who is equally guilty as I was.
1:29:24 > 1:29:32You, Mr Millett, are doing very well in your hotel although it's filled with Germans drinking champagne.
1:29:32 > 1:29:35Of course, they print the money for nothing.
1:29:35 > 1:29:40But with this money, you are buying property.
1:29:40 > 1:29:45Just as the mayor is - I could say the same about many of you.
1:29:45 > 1:29:52If the occupation lasts long enough, the men who are doing this will own the town.
1:29:52 > 1:29:55I don't blame you for making money,
1:29:55 > 1:30:01but you should blame yourselves for making the occupation possible.
1:30:01 > 1:30:06Because you cannot do these things without playing into the hands
1:30:06 > 1:30:10of the real rulers of the town - the Germans!
1:30:13 > 1:30:17LORY CHUCKLES That's why I know you must condemn me to death.
1:30:17 > 1:30:21Not because I killed George Lambert, which I didn't,
1:30:21 > 1:30:25but because I've tried to tell the truth.
1:30:25 > 1:30:29The truth can't be allowed to live under the occupation.
1:30:29 > 1:30:32It's too dangerous.
1:30:32 > 1:30:34The occupation lives upon lies,
1:30:34 > 1:30:41as the whole evil world they call the New Order does.
1:30:43 > 1:30:46Officially, you'll find me guilty of murder.
1:30:46 > 1:30:50Don't worry, my friends, even if you were to acquit me,
1:30:50 > 1:30:54the enemy would put me up against a wall - and you too.
1:30:54 > 1:30:58They can find any reason to take hostages.
1:30:58 > 1:31:02Oh, there's one final charge I must answer to.
1:31:02 > 1:31:05And I'm very guilty.
1:31:07 > 1:31:12I was ashamed when the prosecutor accused me of loving you.
1:31:12 > 1:31:15I've always loved you secretly.
1:31:15 > 1:31:19Now, I'm not ashamed. I'm proud of it.
1:31:20 > 1:31:25I don't want to keep it a secret. I want to tell the whole world.
1:31:25 > 1:31:30I don't feel silly at all. Maybe it's because I'm going to die.
1:31:30 > 1:31:33I feel very young.
1:31:33 > 1:31:38You know, Major von Keller said a very funny thing to me last night.
1:31:38 > 1:31:41He told me I wasn't a coward.
1:31:41 > 1:31:44I think he was right.
1:31:44 > 1:31:48I'm not the only one who's not a coward.
1:31:49 > 1:31:52This town is full of courage.
1:31:52 > 1:31:55I'm proud of it.
1:31:55 > 1:31:59I'm proud to be born and die here.
1:32:00 > 1:32:02Thank you.
1:32:06 > 1:32:12Gentlemen of the jury, you will now retire from this courtroom
1:32:12 > 1:32:18to exercise your free conscience and arrive at a just verdict.
1:32:33 > 1:32:36We have already agreed on a verdict.
1:32:38 > 1:32:41Albert Lory, please stand.
1:32:44 > 1:32:48- What is your verdict? - We, the jury, by unanimous agreement,
1:32:48 > 1:32:56conscious of our responsibility in weighing the accused's guilt or innocence of murder,
1:32:56 > 1:33:00find him not guilty. LOUD CHEERING
1:33:15 > 1:33:18BELL TOLLS
1:33:28 > 1:33:30Thank you, young men.
1:33:36 > 1:33:38Sit down.
1:33:42 > 1:33:46I'm afraid this is my last class.
1:33:46 > 1:33:48I don't know how much time I have.
1:33:48 > 1:33:54If this must be a short lesson, I think I've found the best book.
1:33:55 > 1:33:59It was given to me by Professor Sorel.
1:33:59 > 1:34:04The only reason it wasn't burnt was because I hid it in my bedroom.
1:34:05 > 1:34:10I'm going to read you something written by great men.
1:34:11 > 1:34:17Written in a night of enthusiasm a long time ago - 150 years ago.
1:34:17 > 1:34:20These men came from all classes,
1:34:20 > 1:34:25rich people, poor people, businessmen, men of religion.
1:34:25 > 1:34:28They didn't fight with each other.
1:34:28 > 1:34:32They all agreed on that wonderful night.
1:34:32 > 1:34:36Now other men are trying to destroy this book.
1:34:36 > 1:34:42Maybe this will be burned, but they can't burn it out of your memories.
1:34:42 > 1:34:44You'll have to rewrite it some day.
1:34:45 > 1:34:49That's why you young people are so important.
1:34:49 > 1:34:52You're the new nation.

1:36:47 > 1:36:50Well, I must go.
1:36:52 > 1:36:58- Not because I am harmful to society, but because I am harmful to tyranny. - Come on.
1:37:05 > 1:37:08Don't move, Louise...
1:37:09 > 1:37:11..and don't cry.
